Singapore Flyer
The Singapore Flyer
We walked toward the Singapore Flyer
with PinLi chatting as we crossed the Helix Bridge.
What a sight when we gazed at the Singapore
Flyer.
We bought our tickets, bade ‘farewell’ to PinLi
and went in to the exhibition – learning a few bits
and bobs as we went, posed for a picture and headed toward the short queue to
board.
The next car
filled, we then waited for a dining car to
pass and got in the next.
Taken from the Flyer Website:
At a height of 165 metres, Singapore
Flyer is one of the world’s largest Giant Observation Wheel and also one of
Asia’s biggest tourist attractions.
Singapore Flyer is the height of a 42-storey building – that’s some 30 metres taller than the famed London Eye. Taking a flight on this S$240 million (90 million pounds) wheel is a one-of-a-kind experience you wouldn’t want to miss. Singapore Flyer was conceived and designed by Dr. Kisho Kurokawa and DP Architects, Singapore. It held its ground-breaking ceremony in September 2005 and was launched in 2008. It promises more than just a view, but a panorama that captures Marina Bay’s skyline with a glimpse of neighbouring Malaysia and Indonesia. With high standards of service, the dedicated team at Straco Leisure Pte Ltd is committed to providing visitors with an experience to remember. Featuring fixed capsules the size of a bus, the spectacular icon is capable of holding up to 784 passengers. Each capsule has a 28-person capacity and each revolution takes approximately 30 minutes.
